Dips & Condiments

Like most beautiful creations at Kitchen Therapy, this one stems from staring into the fridge and finding a box of cheese spread that no one touches – so of course baking it up is what I thought of. Instead of the usual cream cheese brownies that one tends to imagine, I wanted something more savoury and spicy – so a classic hot baked cheese dip with three kinds of cheeses – cream cheese / cheese spread, gruyere, and mozzarella, along with some cream, a pinch of nutmeg and lots of seasoning and black pepper, baked away to glory until lovely golden brown and bubbling!

Have wit ccackers, lavash, chips… whatever you like!
